But it does mean that a Syncsort shop that is heavy DB2 will now have
the overhead of having two sort products loaded into LPA. I sure hope
DFSORT doesn't have any LPA code that is RMODE24!
The only rationale I can see for DB2 taking this approach would be a
desire to market DB2 to shops that don't license any sort product. I
can't conceive of such an environment, but maybe they exist.

DB2 V8 uses dfsort internally. It doesn't affect any other product, and
doesn't mean you cannot use Syncsort.

I'm jumping in late here. I read some of the thread. DB2 V7 uses
Syncsort, I know this because we recently had a problem at DR. We are a
DFSORT shop. Are we saying that in DB2 V8 it uses only DFSORT ?
